    Cloud Carbon Footprint is a tool to estimate energy use (kilowatt-hours) and carbon emissions (metric tons CO2e) from public cloud usage

  • There are a lot of open-source projects where one can contribute; I like the list maintained at https://opensustain.tech/. It’s a long list, so might make sense to focus on a specific sector one might be interested in and projects that can use your existing experience (e.g. in a particular language). A few projects that I think are amazing are OpenAQ which maintains an open API and open data on air quality and levels of pollutants; the Linux Foundation Energy projects like Grid eXchange Fabric that has a lot of applications in green energy (e.g. solar microgrids, load management, etc.); and the Cloud Carbon Footprint tool mentioned in another question, used to estimate the carbon emissions of cloud applications.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
